What it does

This bill concerns the sale of mixed drinks or cocktails mixed on premises covered by a class “C” retail alcohol license for consumption off the licensed premises.

Instead, the bill requires the mixed drink or cocktail to be packaged upon receipt of an order in a container with a lid or other method of securing the contents. _____ the bill shall be considered an open container for purposes of restrictions on drivers and passengers possessing a receptacle containing an alcoholic beverage in a motor vehicle.
